Thanks SN:
Good to have the additional info. If anyone would understand this, it would be you, and the uncertainty in the information you were given seems to leave a lot of smoke in the air.
I have no doubt that recent surface hydrology could affect the spring eventually, and it may even be related to the compromising of the spring structure: diminished pressure or the like. But fact remains that the system was shut down for e coli and total coliform, and "diminished flow" is not the same as "dried up". SO it still sounds to me as if the hydrology info is screening the discussion of the health issue, which in turn would explain why NO info at all was provided after the initial announcement by Inyo NF of the shutdown.
I can understand the NF and the County no wanting to hurt business, but it seems the failure to communicate has caused even more damage than necessary.
